Final Day of Bidding - Love of the Game Auctions

[itjclarke]

I waited it out till the bitter end. I'm curious if another board member ended up with Ten Million. I must have gone back and forth 3-4 times in extended bidding before throwing the towel in. Won a couple others I wanted though. So much good stuff to chose from!

I wish you would have gone back and forth a few more times

Was that yours Scott??? I was 49-51% about going one increment higher over the final couple hrs. Much of that 51% against was driven by being frustrated that I didn't get it for what I thought would be a steal at $425 plus BP. Regardless, it's a great card and hope to pick one up at some point.

I didn't win anything, but there were lots of great items to be had. Any thoughts on the final price for the Altoona Tribune Ed Walsh card? The item went for $596, and is apparently a one of one. I bailed out when the card took a fair amount of action in the extended bidding. I was intrigued because I live just a couple hours from Altoona, Pa., and the Card Target site only shows four previous Altoona Tribune cards that went to auction in recent years. I know that is one of the rare backs of the series.

I admit that I was kinda skittish about going real high on a type card like that after seeing what happened to the Green Joyce cards in the just completed Goodwin auction.

I was the underbidder, and six or more of those bids were mine. I thought it went high, but obviously not so high. If you checked Cardtarget you'll see a Baker in slightly better grade recently sold for about $250 less. Frankly, I'm hopeful people are willing to write these and the Green-Joyce's off as plentiful--works for me
